president obama thinks we can appease in this situation. i don't think it's working. i think what we see on television every night is a result of president obama's feckless policy in the middle east. his naive idea of positively tings and not having a good enough understanding who these people are, what these people are. and hillary clinton resisted most of this. hillary clinton's first instinct, keep mubarak, keep gadhafi. she said about assad, he is a reformer. you get a sense of foreign policy that's adrift? >> where do you put the killing of osama bin laden in this context? >> i give him great credit for that. great credit for that. unfortunately, i don't give him as much credit as he takes for himself. what he did in leaking the information is dangerous, disgusting, probably the reason you see a book like this is this -- you go after this guy who wrote this book, the s.e.a.l., he just says i'm just doing what boss is doing. the boss gives it away to hollywood. boss gives it away from hollywood. the information didn't come from the administration. administrations
